After spending a couple of days in Puerto Rico with the Guerras of Cayey, we returned home a week ago and have been slowly getting our lives in order before school starts. It is a bit overwhelming to come home after such a long time: it took us a week to unpack our bags, I am still getting used to the stores being woefully inadequate and expensive (although Cost-U-Less has reasonably priced organic strawberries--yippie!), it has been very hot, AND WE GOT A TROPICAL STORM!!! It was supposed to be a hurricane, but luckily it went north of us so we just got a lot of rain and some wind. Hurricane Earl postponed school for me and for Che, so we have a couple of days to get our lives in order before we start the school year.
We have enjoyed reminiscing about this summer's adventures and are already planning the next one...
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." With Annie Dillard's wise words in the forefront of our thoughts we will endeavor to make every second count whether or not we are on a summer adventure, although it does help being away from home and unplugged!!
